I Still Need You…
You entered my life when I was but two,
Not old enough to know or understand
how precious you would become to me.
You were by my side when I started school.
Every milestone of my life, you have been there
to celebrate, to lend your shoulder on which to cry, to
listen to me when no one else would or even could.
As we lay in bed-side by side and I cradle you in my arms
you seem to know just what I needed.

Your name- “Sarah” which means “Princess”
I have now passed onto my little “princess”
The ravages of time have not been kind to you
Your physical body shows the effects of
The journey you have taken by my side.
Your feet have been rubbed smooth
Your wispy tail is merely a cottony shadow of its former self
The pastel pink of your ears has faded in all
but the farthest tiny crevice of the tip.

These do not matter to me now.
What matters is I still love you and hold you.
My treasured bunny from Granddaddy….
when I was two and not old enough to
Understand how precious you would become to me.
